November and December are the months that seem relaxing because you're winding down at the end of the year. Sounds nice in theory, but I'm sure your schedule actually consists of countless plans and events with family, friends, and co-workers. While the calendar tends to fill up quickly this time of year, one thing I do always look forward to is a good ol' fashioned holiday party.
It really gives off all the festive vibes, and attending one is an excuse to dress up and show out. You might be stressing about what party dress to wear, but I'm here to tell you it's all about the accessories. From sky-high rhinestone platforms and metallic handbags to shoulder-dusting fringe earrings and plaid headbands, there are so many ways you can level up your holiday outfit. Here, I rounded up 38 of the best accessories that were basically made to be worn to any soirée you have coming up. It's all in the details, right?
